1. GENERAL OPERATION
• Read this operator’s manual carefully in its entirety
before attempting to assemble this machine. Read,
understand, and follow all instructions on the
machine and in the manual(s) before operation. Be
completely familiar with the controls and the proper
use of the machine before operating it. Keep this
manual in a safe place for future and regular
reference and for ordering replacement parts.
• Your tiller is a powerful tool, not a plaything.
Therefore, exercise extreme caution at all times.
Your unit has been designed to perform one job: to
till soil. Do not use it for any other purpose.
• Never allow children under age 14 to operate the
unit. Children 14 years and older should only
operate the unit under close parental supervision.
Only responsible individuals who are familiar with
these rules of safe operation should be allowed to
use your unit.
• Do not operate tiller while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
• Keep the area of operation clear of all persons,
particularly small children and pets. Stop the
engine when they are in the vicinity of your tiller.
• Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and close
fitting slacks and shirt. Shirt and slacks that cover
the arms and legs and steel-toed shoes are
recommended. Do not wear loose fitting clothes or
jewelry and secure hair so it is above shoulder
length. They can be caught in moving parts. Never
operate a unit in bare feet, sandals or sneakers.
• Operate tiller only in daylight or good artificial light.
• Do not start tiller unless the shift lever (if provided)
is in the neutral (N) position.
• Do not allow anyone to stand or walk in front of
tiller when starting or running engine.
• Do not place feet or hands on or near the tines
when starting the engine or while the engine is
running.
• Never attempt to make depth bar, tine width,
cable, handle, or wheel adjustments while the
engine is running.
• Do not leave the tiller unattended with the engine
running.
• Before attempting to remove rocks, bricks and
other objects from tines, stop the engine and be
sure the tines have stopped completely.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and move it away
from the spark plug.
• If your machine should start making an unusual
noise or vibration, immediately stop the engine and
allow the machine to come to a complete stop.
Disconnect the spark plug wire and move it away
from the spark plug. Take the following steps:
• Inspect for damage.
• Repair or replace any damaged parts.
• Check for any loose parts and tighten to
assure continued safe operation.
• Muffler and engine become hot and can cause a
burn. Do not touch.
• Keep all shields, guards and safety devices in
place and operating properly.
• Use caution when tilling near fences, buildings and
underground utilities. Rotating tines can cause
damage or injury.
• Do not operate engine if air cleaner or cover over
carburetor air intake is removed, except for
adjustment. Removal of such parts could create a
fire hazard.
